C60 molecules form spontaneously during vaporization of carbon associated with intense heating and turbulence such as in electrical arcs or flames. Self-organization of fluctuations in the highly turbulent (chaotic) atomized carbon vapor appears to result in the formation of the stable structure of C60 and therefore may be visualized as order out of chaos phenomenon. The geometry of C60, namely, the self-similar quasiperiodic Penrose tiling pattern implies long-range spatiotemporal correlations. Such non-local connections in space and time are ubiquitous to dynamical systems in nature and is recently identified as signatures of self-organized criticality . A cell dynamical system model for turbulent fluid flows developed by the author is summarized and it is shown that the observed quasiperiodic Penrose tiling pattern is a signature of quantum-like mechanics governing flow dynamics.
